New summer rail timetable

The Rail Delivery Group has confirmed the summer 2019 timetable change which will come into effect on 19 May. It was announced that over 1,000 extra services added per week and overall, an additional 6,400 expected to be added between 2017 and 2020. The Rail Delivery Group said that they had “learned the lessons from last year’s disruptive summer timetable change” and that “services are only being introduced where there is high confidence that the necessary infrastructure, staffing plans and new trains will be ready.” Commenting on the announcement, Chief Executive of the Rail Delivery Group, Paul Plummer said “the scale of our ambition to improve means that this is a significant challenge and while there may be some teething problems, train operators and Network Rail have worked together to carefully assess where new services can be introduced without impacting reliability.”

Transport and public health remain at the top of the policy agenda, with growing political will to drive change in towns and cities. The Government recognises the importance of transport choices in creating healthy places and is committed to supporting local economies, boosting activity levels and cutting carbon emissions.

There is an urgent business need for local authorities to deliver high quality sustainable transport measures that enable healthier lifestyles and demonstrate cost-effective good practice. This national event is supported by Department for Transport, Department of Health and Public Health England and will provide a must-attend event for anyone working across these disciplines.

Event Details

National policy objectives, from public health to planning to transport, recognise the need for the integrated and strategic planning of housing and transport to support the delivery of cleaner, more active and less car-dependent communities. However, the practical mechanisms to implement such outcomes need urgent review.

Evidence collected in a variety of recent reports, including Transport for New Homes (Foundation for Integrated Transport, 2018), and Location of Development (RTPI, 2018) highlight a typical lack of sustainable transport integrated into new housing developments. This event will explore what needs to change, and how such change can be embedded in an evolving planning framework:

Session 1: The Big Picture: Where are we now, and where do we want to be? Where does the planning system need review to support sustainable, integrated transport options?

With LEPs now responsible for significant amounts of local transport funding decisions, the Transport Knowledge Hub is a timely new tool for local decision makers. At the LEP Network, we know the huge value of giving LEPs a forum to share best practice and engage with other stakeholders, so we are delighted to be involved with a transport-specific project which supports spending decisions that make a genuine difference.
